Description

Undated (ca. 1652-1674) St. Patrick Halfpenny. Martin 5-D, W-11540. Rarity-5. Small Letters. VG-8 (PCGS).

146.2 grains. An excellent example with glossy light chocolate brown surfaces and full well balanced detail. A few light scratches on and around the harp are the only minor marks. Very conservatively graded, this piece was called VF-20 when sold raw in our March 2003 sale and that grade certainly seems to be more reasonable.

PCGS# 902845. NGC ID: AUAS.

From our (Bowers and Merena's) Craig N. Smith & George William Youngman sale, March 2003, lot 12; our sale of the Sydney F. Martin Collection, April 2023 Collectors Choice Online Auction, lot 90088.

Estimate: $750
